Mobylettes of the 1960s

The table below shows the Mobylette mopeds and
50cc motor cycles that were available during the 1960s, listed by
model number. Many of the AV models were also available as
AU models too; the difference is that AV was used for those
badged as Motobécane and AU was used for
Motoconfort. The BG models used a transmission system of a
roller (galet) rubbing on the rear tyre. SP models
are "Spéciale"; the more sporting end of the range.
The MIP range were folding (pliant) machines. The D
models are vélomoteurs or light motor cycles - machines
without pedals and not restricted in power to meet moped
regulations.

Some of the suffix letters used are:

S - Service (utility model without a clutch)

E - before 1962, denotes a clutch (embrayage)

E - from 1962, denotes electronic ignition

T - Tablier, fitted with an engine cover and leg
shield assembly
